Board Performance

How doesflying a fighter jet relate toLONGBOARD PERFORMANCE?

Fighter jet performance is a balancing act between stability and maneuverability. In a longboard, maneuverability is determined by the shape of the nose. Stability is determined by the width of the board at the back truck.

So how do I choose the right ride for me?

1) WHAT SHAPE DO I LIKE?

Start by picking the shape that appeals to you.

2) DO I FIT THE WEIGHT LIMIT?

Check that you fit the weight limit. If not, move to a board with more width at the back truck (or select the 8-ply option at checkout).

3) DO I WANT MORE STABILITY OR MORE FLEX?

Click on the board images below and choose a high energy ride (Fighter Jet) or something more stable (Jumbo Jet).
